Hello Apple ..... our phones do not work today. Pick screen, slide for emergency, not good as a phone or as a development machine.

sigh

Looks like a systemic problem that everyone is having; I can only assume a hastily-arranged new build will be delivered via the portal sometime later today.

Manager: Make sure you put the 90 day expiration in this build.

Engineer: (Removes earbuds.) Whaaah?

Manager: 90 days. Expiration!

Engineer: Okay. 9 days. Got it!

Now my phone is showing 'No Service'

A few hours ago, i could at least receive calls ... now, it's a brick.

Yes, i read the teams of use (i know it can stop functioning as a phone without notice) .... but this is unacceptable. I'm in this program for the sake of my advancement AND Apple's success ....

I don't have a problem with the expiration... Apple doesn't want 2.0 to get in the wild, and they definitely don't want an old bogus version to get in the wild. Plus it forces the developers to keep up and not pelt Apple with problems in older versions of the beta.

I think this is probably an out-and-out bug, where the expiration was incorrectly set in the build. I really do hope there's a new build available soon though; as an individual developer my only iPhone is now (temporarily, I hope) a brick.

Yep, me too. I understand that devices, once used for testing, MAY only be used for testing. However, I don't remember anywhere that it said it will be made unavailable for testing or anything else. Most annoying thing was when the alarm went off this morning all I could do was hit snooze, until I actually woke up and realized I had to turn the phone off. Guess that's one way to make sure I'm up in the morning.

Well, I've downgraded to 1.1.4 after several attempts at re-installing 2.0, recreating certificates, etc.

Somehow my sync backup got hosed, so starting over from that point, but at least the phone is back up and running.

It will be a while before I use my iphone for development. Maybe an iTouch is in order or a refurbished phone.
